ESTON
Eston Hospital NZ 557 186 102190 demolished
This small accident hospital was built in 1883-4 to designs by W. H. Blessley for the employees of the Cleveland Iron and Steel Works and Eston Ironstone Mines. It was financed by the deduction of a weekly subscription from the workmen’s wages. From 1905 it was opened to general cases amongst both subscribers and their families.
The original company, Blockow, Vaughan & Company, was taken over by Dorman Long, but the restriction of the hospital services to employees and their families was maintained until at least 1945. The hospital had been extended in 1903-6 to provide a total of 60 beds, and in 1921-22 a nurses’ home was added. It was transferred to the NHS in 1948 and continued in use until 1980. The site was developed for housing (Rothwell Mews), but a memorial plaque to the hospital was set in the boundary railings.
Eston UD Fever Hospital (Eston Sanatorium) NZ 549 195 102664 demolished
The fever hospital was built to the north-west of Eston in 1894-5, the District Surveyor, T. W. Stainthorpe, civil engineer provided the plans. Known as Eston Sanatorium, it had already been demolished by 1929, having been replaced by a new isolation hospital in Flatts Lane (Normanby Hospital, see below). Subsequently the housing around Gofton Place was built on the site. [Northern Weekly Gazette, 3 Nov. 1894, p.1.]
Normanby Hospital (Eston UD Infectious Diseases Hospital) NZ 549 178 102191 largely demolished
Built in 1925-6 to design by H. Cockersoll, engineer for Eston Urban District Council to replace Eston Sanatorium (see above). This hospital was larger, comprising three ward blocks, administration block, lodge adn service block. It provided 38 beds. After transfer to the NHS in 1948 it became a convalescent annexe to North Ormesby Hospital. It closed in 1981.
The administration block was a symmetrical two-storey and attic building, of white-painted render and slate roof. Bay windows flanked the central entrance, each with inscribed stones recording the laying of the foundation stone. One noted that the foundation stone was laid by Councillor J. Hume, Chairman of the Sanitary Committee on 5 August 1925, and that the Medical Officer of Health was John Steele, and the building contractors were H. Coxhead & Co. Ltd. The other noted that Councillor W. Evans, chairman of the Council had also laid the foundation stone, and that C. W. Cockersoll, was the engineer and surveyor , and H. Loxhead & Col Ltd the contractor.
The administration block and lodge were retained but the rest of the site cleared for development. Bankfields Court was built on the site as a home for the mentally handicapped by the Roman Catholic Church, along with the church of St Gregory the Great. More recently, c.2010, the original hospital’s administration block has been demolished (for photos of the admin block see google streetview, April 2009 and October 2010, it had gone by June 2012).

GUISBOROUGH
Admiral Chaloner Hospital (Guisborough Miners’ Accident Hospital) NZ 616 158 102193 converted to housing
Built in 1873-4. The date 1873 appears on the central gable of the building, with the monogram initials TC and AC in roundals above, and above that a bear with a staff, commemorating Admiral Thomas Chaloner (1815-1884) who had provided premises for the original hospital in the mid-1860s. It was intended to accommodate accident cases from the local mines, and the miners contributed to the hospital’s upkeep with a weekly subscription. The building was enlarged in 1901, and again in 1911. For the latter the architect was the local man, J. W. Clarke. Further extensions were carried out in 1928, when a new oprating theatre and X0ray room were added. I closed in 1982.
Belmont Hospital NZ 619 150 102665 demolished
Seems to have been built after the Second World War, but before the establishment of the NHS by Guisborough Joint Hospital Board. It closed around 1957, although it is still labelled as Belmont Hospital on the OS map published in 1980. Graceland Care Home was built on the site.[Shields Daily News, 4 Jan. 1957, p.10.]
Guisborough Fever Hospital, (Guisborough RDC Isolation Hospital) NZ 623 148 102661 demolished
Guisborough General Hospital (Guisborough Union Workhouse) NZ 614 163 102177
Guisborough Union Workhouse was built in 1838-9 to designs by J. B. and W. Atkinson, architects, of York. It was originally intended to accommodate 130 paupers. The final cost of the building was £2,629. Vagrant wards were added in 1842. Additions in the 1860s and 70s probably included sick wards, and a new casual block was built in 1874. Further extensions were carried out in 1893-4 with a 48-bed infirmary (Thomas Stokes, architect), and 1895 when the casual block was enlarged and altered. A nurses’ home was built in 1912, J. J. Taylor and Minor of Darlington furnishing the plans.
After the local authority reforms of 1929-30 the institution was taken over by North Riding County Council. Plans were put in place for a new 68-bed hospital block on the site along with reconstruction of the main building as part of a larger scheme to redevelop the site as a municipal hospital. Works were ongoing at the outbreak of the Second World War, after which it became an Emergency Hospital under the Emergency Medical Scheme.. The residents were evacuated to make the accommodation available for casualties, but when this proved not to be needed, the institution was instead occupied by military sick patients from Catterick and Whitby.
In 1948 the hospital transferred to the NHS. The pre-war extension plans were revived but building restrictions and lack of funds meant that these were not completed until c.1960.

Scarborough Cottage Hospital and Convalescent Home (Scarborough Cottage Hospital), Spring Hill Road TA 043 889 BF102056.
Three-storey, yellow brick cottage hospital designed by William Barry and built in 1869 at the expense of Ann Wright. A wing was added in 1878-9 by David Petch and there were three later additions, the latest by Caleb Petch.
Scarborough Hospital, Scalby Road TA 020 885 BF102047.
The hospital on Scalby Road was built to replaced the earlier hospital in Friar’s Entry (see below). By the mid-1920s there was a growing need to provide more beds, and although expansion on the existing site was considered, by 1927 the Board of Management had resolved to build a new hospital on a new site. The Board negotiated with Scarborough Corporation to purchase 8 acres on the Woodlands Estate to the west of the town. An appeal for funds had raised £50,000 by 1930, well short of the target of £120,000.
A competition was held in 1932 for a hospital of 140 beds, with consideration to be given to to the potential addition of another 72 beds. At this stage the Board envisaged providing 64 surgical and 24 medical beds, 26 beds for children, 12 for maternity cases and a number of single and twin bedded rooms for paying patients.[The Builder, 21 Oct 1932, pp.670 and 672-3] Hubert M. Fairweather was the assessor, and the London architect Wallace Marchment was awarded the first prize and given the commission. All 128 of the designs submitted were put on display in the Grand Hall of the Spa in Scarborough. Second place had been awarded to Dawson, Oliver and Associates of New York City, third to Heaton Comyn and W. Edward Coker of London and fourth to Lanchester, Lodge and Davis, also of London. The Builder judged the overall standard of design of the submissions to be of high quality, noting that most of the entrants must have had some practice in hospital construction or devoted a good deal of study to the subject.
As the scheme developed following Wallace Marchment’s appointment ideas about the scale of the potential later expansion of the hospital grew from an additional 72 beds to almost twice that number. This entailed the provision of service areas, offices and operating theatres large enough for a hospital of nearer 300 beds. Tenders were advertised early in 1934, Foster and Dicksee being awarded the contract, and the first sod was cut on 11 June 1934, followed by a ceremonial laying of the foundation stone by the president of the hospital on 27 June that year. Work was completed in 1936, with an official opening by the Duke of Kent on 23 October.
The main U-shaped hospital building, nurses’ home and gate lodges were all of brick, in a Dutch modernist idiom, reminiscent of Burnet, Tait and Lorne’s Royal Masonic Hospital, though more pared-back. This is perhaps most evident in the pair of gate lodges on Scalby Road, each a dinky little flat-roofed box with a curved single-storey protruding to overlook the entrance and the pair of tall curved brick plinths baring lamps. The glazing has been replacing, but the lettering looks original or a good replacement in an Art Deco font.
The ward wings extend southwards, the main administrative section and entrance being on the north. Matron’s and house surgeon’s quarters were also in the central section, together with dining rooms and bedrooms for domestic staff. The separate nurses’ home had 60 bedrooms and common rooms as well as teaching rooms. Construction of the main hospital was load-bearing brick with cavity walls on reinforced concrete foundations, chosen to withstand the wind and driving rain on this exposed site. Floors and roofs were reinforced concrete and hollow tiles, with internal partitions either of brick or breeze blocks. The windows were originally steel in wood frames painted white, but like the lodge windows, have been replaced. the entrance hall and main corridor were panelled in terrazzo, elsewhere the walls were generally plastered and enamelled. The ward floors had teak block floors. [Architectural Review, February 1937, vol.81 iss. 483, pp.73-5.]
During the Second World War the bed capacity was increased from 140 to 244 as part of the Government’s emergency measures. This was achieved by increasing the number of beds on the wards rather than by building hutted annexes. Most of this additional accommodation was given over to evacuated chronic sick patients from London hospitals. Also during the war, in 1942, East Ayton Lodge was donated to the hospital as a convalescent home. It was donated by the Dowager Lady Nunburnholme in memory of her son who had died during in the war. It was not immediately used as such, and ended up being leased to North Riding County Council for patients from Clifton Hospital (then named the North Riding Mental Hospital).
Plans for expansion were drawn up after the war by the Board of Management, despite the impending inauguration of the NHS. These included extensions to the nurses’ home and a new boiler house. It may have been hoped that these would be adopted by the newly formed Leeds Regional Hospitals Board. Only minor works were undertaken in the early post-war years, such as the enclosure of the sun balconies. A major extension was added in 1986-8, and since then a Women’s Unit and Midwifery-Led Unit, Radiology and Gastroenterology Departments have been added. Parts of the 1930s building have also been refurbished including A&E and Maple Ward. [Sources: Ian H Goodall, RCHME Report BF 102047 and references given above.]
Scarborough Hospital and Dispensary TA 031 876 Historic England Archives Building File: 102057
A dispensary was established in Scarborough in 1851, initially in a room in the Mechanics Institute in Vernon Road, and from June 1854 at 15 Queen Street. A purpose-built dispensary was erected in 1858-9 in Elders Street, designed by William Barry. The first beds were provided in 1865 for accident cases, and in 1870 the name ‘Scarborough Dispensary and Accident Hospital’ was adopted. Additional beds were squeezed in by converting the boardroom in 1880 and adding a second storey in 1883. Fifteen beds were then available, and the name changed again to ‘the Scarborough Hospital and Dispensary’. In the early 1890s plans were formulated to build a new hospital on a much larger scale. The principal instigator of the scheme was John Dale who had retired to Scarborough and became president of the Hospital in 1891. A site large enough for a hospital with 50 beds but also capable of later expansion was purchased in Friars Entry.
